And he got into a boat and went across and came to his town.

And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.
3 tAM kathAM nishamya kiyanta upAdhyAyA manaHsu chintitavanta eSha manuja IshvaraM nindati|
And some of the scribes said among themselves, This man has no respect for God.
4 tataH sa teShAm etAdR^ishIM chintAM vij nAya kathitavAn, yUyaM manaHsu kR^ita etAdR^ishIM kuchintAM kurutha?
And Jesus, having knowledge of what was in their minds, said, Why are your thoughts evil?
5 tava pApamarShaNaM jAtaM, yadvA tvamutthAya gachCha, dvayoranayo rvAkyayoH kiM vAkyaM vaktuM sugamaM?
For which is the simpler, to say, You have forgiveness for your sins; or to say, Get up and go?
6 kintu medinyAM kaluShaM kShamituM manujasutasya sAmarthyamastIti yUyaM yathA jAnItha, tadarthaM sa taM pakShAghAtinaM gaditavAn, uttiShTha, nijashayanIyaM AdAya gehaM gachCha|
But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill, ) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.
7 tataH sa tatkShaNAd utthAya nijagehaM prasthitavAn|
And he got up and went away to his house.
8 mAnavA itthaM vilokya vismayaM menire, IshvareNa mAnavAya sAmarthyam IdR^ishaM dattaM iti kAraNAt taM dhanyaM babhAShire cha|
But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.

And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken; and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.
10 tataH paraM yIshau gR^ihe bhoktum upaviShTe bahavaH karasaMgrAhiNaH kaluShiNashcha mAnavA Agatya tena sAkaM tasya shiShyaishcha sAkam upavivishuH|
And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.
11 phirUshinastad dR^iShTvA tasya shiShyAn babhAShire, yuShmAkaM guruH kiM nimittaM karasaMgrAhibhiH kaluShibhishcha sAkaM bhuMkte?
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Master take food with tax-farmers and sinners?
12 yIshustat shrutvA tAn pratyavadat, nirAmayalokAnAM chikitsakena prayojanaM nAsti, kintu sAmayalokAnAM prayojanamAste|
But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.
13 ato yUyaM yAtvA vachanasyAsyArthaM shikShadhvam, dayAyAM me yathA prIti rna tathA yaj nakarmmaNi|yato. ahaM dhArmmikAn AhvAtuM nAgato. asmi kintu manaH parivarttayituM pApina AhvAtum Agato. asmi|
But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.
14 anantaraM yohanaH shiShyAstasya samIpam Agatya kathayAmAsuH, phirUshino vaya ncha punaH punarupavasAmaH, kintu tava shiShyA nopavasanti, kutaH?
Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?
15 tadA yIshustAn avochat yAvat sakhInAM saM Nge kanyAyA varastiShThati, tAvat kiM te vilApaM karttuM shakluvanti? kintu yadA teShAM saM NgAd varaM nayanti, tAdR^ishaH samaya AgamiShyati, tadA te upavatsyanti|
And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.
16 purAtanavasane kopi navInavastraM na yojayati, yasmAt tena yojitena purAtanavasanaM Chinatti tachChidra ncha bahukutsitaM dR^ishyate|
And no man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat, for by pulling away from the old, it makes a worse hole.
17 anya ncha purAtanakutvAM kopi navAnagostanIrasaM na nidadhAti, yasmAt tathA kR^ite kutU rvidIryyate tena gostanIrasaH patati kutUshcha nashyati; tasmAt navInAyAM kutvAM navIno gostanIrasaH sthApyate, tena dvayoravanaM bhavati|
And men do not put new wine into old wine-skins; or the skins will be burst and the wine will come out, and the skins are of no more use: but they put new wine into new wine-skins, and so the two will be safe.
18 aparaM tenaitatkathAkathanakAle eko. adhipatistaM praNamya babhAShe, mama duhitA prAyeNaitAvatkAle mR^itA, tasmAd bhavAnAgatya tasyA gAtre hastamarpayatu, tena sA jIviShyati|
While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.
19 tadAnIM yIshuH shiShyaiH sAkam utthAya tasya pashchAd vavrAja|
And Jesus got up and went after him, and so did his disciples.
20 ityanantare dvAdashavatsarAn yAvat pradarAmayena shIrNaikA nArI tasya pashchAd Agatya tasya vasanasya granthiM pasparsha;
And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:
21 yasmAt mayA kevalaM tasya vasanaM spR^iShTvA svAsthyaM prApsyate, sA nArIti manasi nishchitavatI|
Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.
22 tato yIshurvadanaM parAvarttya tAM jagAda, he kanye, tvaM susthirA bhava, tava vishvAsastvAM svasthAmakArShIt| etadvAkye gaditaeva sA yoShit svasthAbhUt|
But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

And when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the players with their instruments and the people making a noise,
24 panthAnaM tyaja, kanyeyaM nAmriyata nidritAste; kathAmetAM shrutvA te tamupajahasuH|
He said, Make room; for the girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they were laughing at him.
25 kintu sarvveShu bahiShkR^iteShu so. abhyantaraM gatvA kanyAyAH karaM dhR^itavAn, tena sodatiShThat;
But when the people were sent out, he went in and took her by the hand; and the girl got up.
26 tatastatkarmmaNo yashaH kR^itsnaM taM deshaM vyAptavat|
And the news of it went out into all that land.
27 tataH paraM yIshustasmAt sthAnAd yAtrAM chakAra; tadA he dAyUdaH santAna, asmAn dayasva, iti vadantau dvau janAvandhau prochairAhUyantau tatpashchAd vavrajatuH|
And when Jesus went on from there, two blind men came after him, crying out, Have mercy on us, you Son of David.
28 tato yIshau gehamadhyaM praviShTaM tAvapi tasya samIpam upasthitavantau, tadAnIM sa tau pR^iShTavAn karmmaitat karttuM mama sAmarthyam Aste, yuvAM kimiti pratIthaH? tadA tau pratyUchatuH, satyaM prabho|
And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, Have you faith that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.
29 tadAnIM sa tayo rlochanAni spR^ishan babhAShe, yuvayoH pratItyanusArAd yuvayo rma NgalaM bhUyAt| tena tatkShaNAt tayo rnetrANi prasannAnyabhavan,
Then he put his hand on their eyes, saying, As your faith is, let it be done to you.

And their eyes were made open. And Jesus said to them sharply, Let no man have knowledge of it.
31 kintu tau prasthAya tasmin kR^itsne deshe tasya kIrttiM prakAshayAmAsatuH|
But they went out and gave news of him in all that land.
32 aparaM tau bahiryAta etasminnantare manujA ekaM bhUtagrastamUkaM tasya samIpam AnItavantaH|
And while they were going away, there came to him a man without the power of talking, and with an evil spirit.
33 tena bhUte tyAjite sa mUkaH kathAM kathayituM prArabhata, tena janA vismayaM vij nAya kathayAmAsuH, isrAyelo vaMshe kadApi nedR^igadR^ishyata;
And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.
34 kintu phirUshinaH kathayA nchakruH bhUtAdhipatinA sa bhUtAn tyAjayati|
But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.
35 tataH paraM yIshusteShAM bhajanabhavana upadishan rAjyasya susaMvAdaM prachArayan lokAnAM yasya ya Amayo yA cha pIDAsIt, tAn shamayan shamayaMshcha sarvvANi nagarANi grAmAMshcha babhrAma|
And Jesus went about all the towns and small places, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and making well all sorts of disease and pain.
36 anya ncha manujAn vyAkulAn arakShakameShAniva cha tyaktAn nirIkShya teShu kAruNikaH san shiShyAn avadat,
But when he saw all the people he was moved with pity for them, because they were troubled and wandering like sheep without a keeper.
37 shasyAni prachurANi santi, kintu ChettAraH stokAH|
Then he said to his disciples, There is much grain but not enough men to get it in.
38 kShetraM pratyaparAn ChedakAn prahetuM shasyasvAminaM prArthayadhvam|
Make prayer, then, to the Lord of the grain-fields, that he may send out workers to get in his grain.
